This page is the honest version of the small print. I am a person writing a free library, not a clinic and not a courtroom. Please read it once. Then use the library as it is meant to be used: take one useful thing, and get proper care when you need proper care.
If you want the short path through the library first, that is Start here. This page is the line around it.
In one minute
- Ultimate Wellness is education. It is not medical, dietetic, psychological, or psychiatric treatment.
- I do not diagnose. I do not prescribe. I do not make personal meal plans or inner-life protocols for individual readers.
- I am not registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) as a dietitian, nutritionist, doctor, or psychologist.
- I hold a World Coach Institute Certified Professional Coach (CPC) credential with health, wellness, and nutrition training. That is educator training. It is not a licence to treat.
- I do not take 1:1 coaching clients, and I will not become a coach who does.
- Spiritual maps on this site are maps, not physics, not a diagnosis, and not a rank.
- If you are in danger or very unwell, stop reading and get emergency help.
If this is an emergency
Do not wait for an article, an email, or a contact-form reply.
In South Africa
- From a mobile phone: 112 (routes you to emergency services).
- Ambulance: 10177
- Police: 10111
Anywhere else: use your local emergency number.
I also list, as a public resource and not as a partner, the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) helpline 0800 567 567. If you are in crisis, a trained service is better than a blog.
If you have a body problem, a mind problem, or a medicine question, please see a clinician who is allowed to treat you.
Education, not treatment
Everything on this site — essays, food notes, maps of awakening, mindfulness practices, emails, and any later paid guide — is general information for learning.
It is offered so you can leave with one practice, one food idea, or one clearer map of your inner life.
It is not a medical diagnosis, a prescription, a meal plan written for your labs, a substitute for a licensed professional who has met you, or a promise that a food, a fast, a meditation, or a metaphysical idea will cure, treat, prevent, or reverse disease.
When I write about food and mood, I am talking as an educator. I am not talking as your dietitian. When I write about anxiety, sleep, or low mood, I am talking about practices and maps. I am not talking as your psychologist.
Who I am, and who I am not
I am: Gary B., a public wellness educator. I write Ultimate Wellness.
I am not: a medical doctor; an HPCSA-registered dietitian or nutritionist; a psychologist, counsellor, or psychiatrist; a pharmacist; a coach taking clients.
A World Coach Institute nutrition certificate is training for education. It is not a licence to diagnose, treat, or prescribe, and it is not an HPCSA registration.
Spiritual writing is also education
Metaphysics on this site — awakening stages, consciousness, intuition, chakras, inner maps — is language for inner life. It is not a medical or psychiatric assessment. It is not physics.
These essays are not a substitute for mental-health care. They are not an instruction to stop medicine, stop therapy, or replace a clinician with a map.
Contact is not a consultation
The contact form is for site questions: a broken link, a correction, a permission request.
Live form: Contact.
If you write asking for a personal protocol, a meal plan, a reading of your symptoms, or a coaching session, I will not provide one.
Other pages
I want you well. Wanting that is not the same as being qualified to treat you. Use what helps. Leave what does not. Get help that is allowed to help when the library is not enough.
